9th Grade Computer Science & Technology Projects (by price, high to low)

Hello and welcome!

Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Are you teaching AP Computer Science A and need materials? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!

I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. I also teach an introduction course. This is part of the course I made up for my intro students. I have a BS in computer science and know what students need to know.

This bundle is HUGE! It has more than you can cover in one year in a programming course. It starts with the very basic "Hello World" program, goes through loops and logic, to classes with an optional lesson on arrays. This first semester is equivalent to a college level programming course.

The course then takes a fun turn into using the JSwing package and forms in Java.

To top off the course, it ends with game creation. It teaches students how to use Listeners, Timers, and create their own Sprites. This is an out of the box experience that students will love.

All lessons will come with the following:

a pdf slideshow - Can be teacher or student driven!

an assignment - differentiated with three different levels!

a pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors

an answer key in pdf form - For a quick check

an answer key in .java form - Runnable out of the box.

You can pick and choose the ones you like or have students do their best to reach the "Hacker" level. This will last about a mark period and can be extended easily!

Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.

Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.

Great for asynchronous learning and homeschooling! Could be used as a self- taught course or go at your own pace! Everything for learning is included!

Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!

Real Estate Career Simulation: Flip a House Project lets middle schoolers see how real estate investors purchase, improve, and resell homes for a profit. Utilizing Microsoft Word and Excel, students “purchase” a home of choice from a list and then determine the improvements they want to make to it, all while staying within their budget. Then, they design the home, using Web 2.0 tools (www.floorplanner.com or www.homestyler.com ) or Sketchup (a free download available at: http://www.sketchup.com/download ). Finally, students use Microsoft Word to prepare a one-page sale flyer for their renovated home. Note: This lesson is intended for beginning Excel users and was created using Microsoft Excel 2016. It is easily adaptable for different versions.

This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.

The “What Will My Car Cost?” project allows students to build skills in Internet research and critical thinking as they research costs for a car and then compute and compare payment options using Microsoft Excel. First, students research the cost for two car options (one used and one new) and then compare financing and payment options for these using formulas in Microsoft Excel. The step-by-step directions were created for Microsoft Excel 2016, but could easily be used with earlier versions of the software. Editable templates and samples are provided for both Microsoft Excel 2016 and earlier versions (2007-2013).

The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for high school students.

Hello and welcome!

Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!

I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. I also teach an introduction course. This is part of the course I made up for my intro students. I have a BS in computer science and know what students need to know.

This is part 5 of an introductory Programming in Java course. These lessons are meant to be done over a few days; the idea is to get students doing cool stuff as fast as possible. With Java, that is NOT an easy task.

Topics:

Programming in Java 5: Drawing Shapes

Drawing Skeleton- JFrame and JPanel

Graphics class

How to draw shapes and change colors

Making custom colors

Screen Coordinate System

All lessons will come with the following:

a pdf slideshow

a pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors

an assignment, differentiated with three different levels!

an answer key in pdf form

an answer key in .java form

Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.

Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.

Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!
